Moo-erry Christmas

Even though I'm in the midst of finals, I am still full of holiday cheer!  I don't really have brain cells to commit to thinking of posts, so I just want to say - Enjoy the Christmas Season - spending time with people you love, singing along to as many carols as possible, shopping for special treasures for the people in your life, drinking hot cocoa on cold nights, and taking in all the twinkly lights and sparkly ornaments!



A few jokes... (answers below)
1. What is Santa's favorite sandwich?

2. What Christmas carol does swiss cheese like to sing?

3. And one just for Ludy - How do you decorate an outrigger canoe for Christmas?

I welcome any guest posts... just send it to me (with any pics) in an email.  Okay, let the season begin!

Aloha all you Christmas Fanatics.... Here are some cozy, cuddly, Christmas cheer activity ideas to partake in... 
1. Purchase and listen to Glee Xmas Album, Volume 2 
2. Hang up stockings for yourself and others living with you and put little treats in every once in a while! 
3. Watch Love Actually 
4. Shop for Xmas online for your friends and family at etsy.com, they have some good stuff! 
5. Give a big, loud "Ho, ho, ho!" with GUSTO every once in a while, just to make yourself laugh.

Lucy and Chris rented some boards to go surf Waikiki while I walked along it....

Later we met up with Chris' cousin Rich and went on a sunset sail - it was beautiful!

The Beach Boys rowed right by us...

Dinner at Kona Brewery with the sampler... I had a lovely gingery flavored beer.

Next morning we hike Diamond Head and got some great views
